Holy thread revival!
I didn't want to start another thread so I thought I'd continue this one. If it merits a new thread, by all means move this outta here.
I am looking to buy a 1998-2005 GC or GD STI (GD STI preferred because they are newer and more common). I want to know what kind of things to look for during inspection and on the paperwork.
If there are any common issues with these model STI's, please reply with your advice and/or links to more detail. I have already read up on some NASIOC type pages for things like compression test print outs, checking for aftermarket parts, service history etc.
Basically, anything that would indicate the car could have been abused or is not in good condition and how to identify it.
** Extra note for disclosure - I currently reside in Japan and I intend to buy and keep the car with me here for at least a year, so if you have ever bought a car in Japan, your experience will be invaluable for me.
Thanks in advance P-WRX team! Yoroshiku
